Asp - Wan Ip

[Admiral Michael]

Hey all,

I basically got this system script done the way I want (http://www.michaelsoft.gotdns.com/stats.asp) cept for the Server IP. Since the computer is behind a router it shows my LAN IP, which is the result of using Request.ServerVariables("LOCAL_ADDR").

Any Ideas how to grab the IP (in ASP, dont want to mix languages. It all I kno besides HTML and a little javascript) from a site like http://checkip.dyndns.org or if you have another idea how to get the IP.

Try REMOTE_ADDR

That would most probably end up displaying the internal IP of the router
(...based on my very limited knowledge of ASP )

Try REMOTE_ADDR

Isn't that the client's IP?

In PHP I'd use $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], which displayes the name or IP used to reach the server (changes between LAN and WAN users). But I'm not sure what the corresponding variable in ASP is...

You could of course parse http://checkip.dyndns.org/ using ASP and get the IP that way, but it's very slow since you have to do this every time you get a page access.

Sorry yes...its prob SERVER_NAME (The server's host name or IP address) then

Thanks all, It seems it's more difficult then I thought. I think I will just have it show the LAN ip then.
